In the Instagram reel by @theyummymania, we see different stages of the making of petha. First, we see workers slicing open the ash gourd and removing the centre portion. Later, the vegetable is flattened, submerged in a liquid and chopped into smaller pieces. A few unidentifiable ingredients, including what looks to be water, are combined with these pieces. We also see two of the workers rinsing their faces with the water from this mixture. The video then takes us through the remaining steps of making the petha, including mixing them with what seems to be sugar and syrup. "Agra Famous Petha Making," reads the text on the video.
